Smart Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 So, I already said tonight, I'm old. I'm also old enough to remember when people put out records and you judged them on the entirety of tht record. Does this still happen in our new world of downloads and ringtones? I mean, people play me stuff sometimes and I get a fair amount of submissions that are all fairly good but... last submission was something I liked but yeah... last time somebody MADE me hear an album from front to back was that kid Malakian's band (dancin' in the desert all night) and that shit was pretty good but... the last time I remember being absolutely hooked was probably 'Nothing Shocking'. That Album kicked ass! Also I really dug "Love Below" when it came out but a bunch of folks I'm around didn't go for it. I guess I mentioned "Fight Club" earlier and that's another front to back that I thought didn't get enough credit. So I guess there's been a few since Jane's but none that I remember grabbing all my friends at the same time. Are party albums dead? We used to put on Love and Rockets 'Express' and had naked girls dancing on tables, 'Licensed to Ill' fuckin' broke MANY house parties. Black Sabbath plus hours long bong sessions... What albums are front to back favorites of yours, AND what are f2b faves of your friends as well? Has the full length album format FINALLY fallen to the singles? Is the new mellinium all a 'mix tape' world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouMad.GIF Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 honestly, I would say check out the Kid Cudi Album he devided it into acts telling the story of his life or whatev kinda lame, but cool as a concept and definitely makes the whole album a finished product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 last album I thought that you had to hear in it's entirity was the Streets "A grand Don't Come For Free" because it's a whole saga throughout the album. listenign to a whole album is kinda dead now it seems...a bit of a shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smart Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 was the Streets that band that did "And Don't You Know It"? (or something like that)... English hip hop? I really dug that one song but failed on the follow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindle Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 this is one of those concept albums you have to listen to in order. its really really good, don't let the stupid gay album art throw you off. go get it. this too. i like when albums dont have many "skip tracks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smart Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Wait, but what I'm trying to ask about is the album that EVERYBODY played, even when you got into a strangers car at party time it was in the tape deck (or cd player, or w/ the usb hook up).

Smart Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 See... I'm not that into the concept albums, or story shits... I liked Johnny frum the Horspitul by Company Flow but see, what sparked this was the absolute rednecks next door jamming out to that Queensryche album yesterday. I remember some kids being blown away by that shit but they were mostly crappy guitarists who couldn't cover soem Steve Vai shit on a David Lee Roth album (no fronting on The Attitude Song, or Vai in general)... but... yeah, it was that bullshit concept album thing that put a bug in my ear. I don't mean 'story' albums, I mean song after song of kick ass stuff. The type of thing you put in when you have to drive for an hour. The type of stuff you play when you want to make people jump but not have to touch the stereo for an while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 tape deck best example where you can't press the magic fast forward... an album that just rolls on, if you don't like this part it's still pretty good and there's another part coming...

Smart Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 like 36 Chambers when it dropped (on the Wu reference but I had to force my friends to hear it...if I recall they all wanted me to listen to some new Nine Inch Nails at that time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pissdrunkwhat?! Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 its strange to me how a very big majority of the board couldnt tell you what an E.P. and an L.P. are. music is across the board, it ALLLLLLLLL needs to be learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 was the Streets that band that did "And Don't You Know It"? (or something like that)... English hip hop? I really dug that one song but failed on the follow up. Oi oi oi! yeah I recommend seeing them in concert too. They played at the Fllmore after their first record release years ago. Everyone on stage was double fisting handles and sharing with the front row. (It was an 18+ show but they're british so whatever.) Security at the fillmore took away their handles and they refused to play for about 10 minutes till they got their liquor back. That's all I remember, aside from the floor turning into a waterbed from everybody jumping with the bass. Good times. I can think only of a handful of albums I would voluntarily listen to from beginning to end, and generally its under abnormal circumstances. For example: Metallica - Kill em all is for when Im driving up to davis in the middle of the night with nobody else in the car and I'm trying to make good time.

Is the new mellinium all a 'mix tape' world? Really for me the only albums I will listen to the whole way is either Doom Metal bands and King Diamond. Doom metal bands, because most of thier songs bleed into each other and paint a weird dark landscape of metalness and King Diamond cause all of his albums are heavy metal operas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauler5150 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I think the last one I could recommend was Liquid Trio Experiment's 'When the Keyboard breaks'. I didn't get what you were trying to say about Steve Vai before, but who can cover his shit? I say nobody. Just go listen to Passion and Warfare in its entirety to refresh yourself lol.

Swindle Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I can dig it, but yeah, I meant the jams. thats how those ministry of sound cd's are structured, so that they can be put on and they are just all party hits but sadly half the songs on them are just utter shit.

At this point when it come to albums, the only other person I can say I enjoy completely is any of KRS One's albums. They're complete and perfected, and they flow. The Chronic, also a very good album that flowed; I hope Detox turns out just the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autoteller Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 i've said this before, but for hours long bong sessions, sleep's holy mountain is the top of the hill. easily had the most relaxing and just fun experience getting high listening to that album on top of an extremely comfortable, over priced beanbag. turn the lights off, drop the needle on the groove, and get totally ripped.

Guest JohnLester#31 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Obfcl2 is hot fiyah beginning to end. Disagree. Definitely a big fan, was highly anticipating, but it didn't live up to its expectations completely as far as the rage over who was suppose to be on the album, but didn't make the cut ( skip to 3:50). If any artist says they want something to happen badly enough and don't make it happen, you don't think they think to themselves their work could have been better. Thats enough insentive to say, it wasn't ALL that. OBCL 1, is complete. I hate to say it but I enjoyed Cuban Revolutions the Mixtape more, were Nas did make the cut. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcs Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Wu. 36 chambers. i listen to bizare ride II the pharcyde all the way too.

I hate skipping songs or listening to something else before an album is done. i guess this is all based on personal preference. some albums have only one or two good songs or one or two weak songs. i suppose it's a lot easier to pick and choose these days since you can DL individual tracks. speaking of which, if you like New Order, Bernard Sumner's new project "Bad Lieutenant" has their debut album dropping in a few weeks but Amazon has a one day deal where you can DL the entire thing for $2.99. I just picked it up, it's pretty good so far. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002R50INK?ie=UTF8&tag=badlieu3-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002R50INK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
